(Naruto+LotM) Jugo - Father of Devils Chapter 139 139: Cap.124 - Second Exam - Part.1

Jirobo looked around, noticing the number of teams that had passed by. At that mont, a ninja jumped out of the trees, landing next to Jirobo.

Among those being examined, one figure ran up to Dosu excitedly. -Sensei! We understand the purpose of the exam! Look! We all passed together!- Kenta shouted excitedly, looking at Dosu.

Dosu looked at the little guy and let out a soft sigh.

Ryuta turned his face away, embarrassed.

Nanami gave a stiff smile, also embarrassed, but not wanting to punch Kenta.

Kenta continued to explain the entire exam event and it was at this point that the other teams, who hadn't yet discovered the purpose of the exam, were shocked.

They looked around and saw that so candidates were not only not tired, but were clearly full of energy.

For a mont the urge to complain arose, but died at the sa ti. What could they do? They couldn't figure it out, it was their fault.

Fuu jumped up and shouted, -So that was it! Wow, I can't believe we didn't figure it out! Examiner, can we run again?- Fuu yelled to Jirobo.

Fuu's two teammates, tired and out of breath, quickly regained their strength and grabbed Fuu, pulling her away while covering her mouth.

The comical scene lightened the mood as Jirobo shook his head. -My work is done, the rest is up to you, Dosu.

Dosu nodded as he brushed Kenta aside with one hand, then turned to the rest of the examinees. -You passed the first exam, congratulations. So managed to figure out the objective of the exam, others passed through perseverance. In any case, both ways of passing are correct, but the first will give you a greater initial advantage during the second exam.

The group fell silent as Nanami dragged Kenta back, Dosu stared intently at the group with his one eye as he spoke. - The second exam is simple, tag capture.

The group was surprised and subconsciously looked at their own tags, but discovered that most of the tags were gone, only the black tag was still there. Furthermore, the Tag numbers have changed, remaining exactly in the order they were in during the first examination.

-As you can see, only the black tag remains, it will be needed for the second exam. The numbers have changed too.- Dosu continued, picking up a scroll and opening it. He infused it with chakra as the contents spilled out, a box with a hole in the top. -Each of you will draw a number from inside the box, that is your objective for the second exam.

The group fell silent, so frowning, others surprised, but no one spoke.

-The goal of the exam is to get 6 points. Your own tag is worth 3 points, the target tag is worth another 3 points and any other tag is worth 1 point.- Dosu continued.

-So we need our own tag and the target tag to pass, or one of those plus 3 tags, or 6 other tags.- Samui said calmly.

-Exactly.- Dosu replied. -From now on, you can remove the tags and hide them however you like. After that, in nurical order of your tag, remove the target number from the box. Furthermore, if you remove your own number, the tag must be replaced.

The group nodded and the first team to arrive was Team 1, consisting of Sakura, Choji and Ino.

They moved forward with Ino putting her hand inside the box and taking out a number, hiding it without letting the others see it, at this point it was already obvious that you shouldn't let the others discover your objective.

Even the black tags had already been hidden, only those with good mories could discover who had their target tag. So of the more astute had already made ntal notes while Dosu was explaining.

Finally, everyone removed their targets as Dosu continued to speak. - You will stay on this island for 3 days, and yes, this is an island. In 3 days, whoever is still alive must return to this clearing. Those with 6 points and all team mbers can proceed to the final exam.

-What happens if a team mber is missing?- Kurotsuchi pursed her lips and asked, annoyed.

-They won't pass.- Dosu shrugged, then pulled a series of papers from inside his shirt. -Due to the risk of death in this exam, from now on all of you must sign death consent forms. Those who don't want to participate can withdraw now. After that, this gate will only open again three days later, no matter what happens on the island.

They all looked at each other, the lighthearted atmosphere giving way to a heavy one, the possibility of death this ti was very high, yet, reaching this point, no one gave up, everyone signed the terms.

After all, they are ninjas, death is sothing they must be prepared for.

On the other side, in the observation room, the group of Jonins seed surprised by the exam, of course, it was clearly similar to the classic style of the second exam, a test in a hazardous field with obvious objectives.

The first exam is usually written, the second exam is a field combat test and the last exam is direct combat, this pattern was repeated most of the ti when the Chunin exam was conducted.

But this ti, the first exam was a race designed to test the bonds between the participants, the second exam would be a field exam, but it wasn't about collecting scrolls or hunting for treasure, but about earning points.

The first to understand the purpose of the exam was Shikamaru. - There are 15 teams, normally about a little less than half of them would pass, but this ti it's more complicated, considering they don't know which tags their opponents are looking for. This ga is about chasing while being chased. The number of participants makes everything even more complicated, allowing for various variations in performance. Honestly, this exam is very good, the accuracy of the evaluation is even greater than the scroll exam. It's worth adopting this style in the future.

Asuma and Temari, standing nearby, nodded, sensing that this exam was interesting, at least it seed more normal compared to the Pre-Exam and the first exam.

On Dosu's side, all the teams had signed up, they left in nurical order, each had 5 minutes to run or hide, only then would the next team leave.

What nobody realized was that Jugo had sent wooden clones with caras to each team, using Zetsu's Mayfly technique, they were the best spies, so the entire event could be televised.

Dosu, on the other hand, after sending off the last team, began to wander freely. He wouldn't normally interfere, except if sothing unexpected happened, like an external attack from outside the exam, otherwise, he would just observe.

Of course, he paid more attention to his own team.
